\u201cStanding like a strong man on black waves<\/p>\n
she claws brilliant bands of yellow, green and blue;<\/p>\n
pulling down, she guides bands of light from a dark heaven<\/p>\n
into a wide black hole at her feet<\/p>\n
where the illumined ocean is filled by its shaft moving straight through to earth’s core<\/p>\n
into shaped petals making full the heart, preparing to bloom with a form left to wonder<\/p>\n
In time soon, real soon\u201d<\/p>\n
This dream I had during the last of two nights staying at a friend’s house boat in the cove a few minutes East of Hoonah.\u00a0 It was October 30, 2003.<\/p>\n
I stood on the ocean waves between the cove and Hoonah.\u00a0 I could see Hoonah off in the distance with its city lights illuminated and reflecting off the dark ocean ripples\u2026the dark sea rolled easy, glassy waves; it was night.\u00a0 The Northern Lights above rippled almost in unison with the gentle roll of dark waves.\u00a0 I reached up and clawed at the a band of northern lights which made its way in my direction, so I guided them into a black hole about 18 inches wide at the base of my feet.\u00a0 Imagine yourself in my shoes; it was quite an exhilarating experience.\u00a0 When I awoke, my eyes were wide open, staring into the early morning hours, my body vibrating.<\/p>\n
Some day I will create a piece of art based on this dream; maybe a button robe or a painting, maybe do a print of the painting – or all of the above!\u00a0 The illumined heaven of light and creation are endless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
